Yippee! The senior season of figure skating started this weekend! And of course, after a summer of boredom, this is the busiest week I've had in months, so I'm behind in my write-ups. I have written, though, an article about the women's' competition, and I'll post it tonight. (I'm also sending it to Ron Porter, the administrator of Emily Hughes' website.) I hope to have YouTube videos of the NBC broadcast up this weekend.
Speaking of NBC, I was somewhat disappointed with their broadcast of Skate America this weekend. On the one hand, their coverage was more extensive, but they only showed the long programs of the men and women. Consequently, I went to YouTube to supplement what I missed. It seems odd to me that in spite of it being an American competition, there was more shown on foreign broadcasts. NBC has promised to broadcast more of the Nationals in January, however.
I did think the commentary was better than ABC's, though. Scott Hamilton--need I say more! I missed Terry Gannon, though--as the "non-skater," he's obviously more experienced and knowledgeable about skating than Tom Hammond, even though Hammond has announced for the Olympics.
